Laporte is done until September, pep trying to cover.

Xavi wants to use 3-4-3 formation next season with Araujo, Kound? & Christensen in defense.

He'll probably use it in a few games, but still think a four-man backline will be the standard.

3ATB without proper wing-backs have never worked. Even Pep couldn't make it work.

That could work

This will be a disaster. For this formation to work you need the 2 CMs to be all rounders with a massive work rate off the ball. I assume Pedri and Busquets will be automatic starters. Their lack of steel and off the ball dirty work will be exposed.

In such a formation a functional midfield 2 of Gavi and Kessie would work much better but Pedri and Busi basically have to start since Xavi loves them.

Plus very dynamic and high stamina full backs needed. Like a Conte team. Who'll play RB?

My 2 cents on this

It will be basically same formation we used against RM. Araujo as a false RB.
You count him as RB it is 433, you count him as CB and it is 343

Bernardo Silva regularly runs 13Km per game so pair him with Pedri and it cannot fail

Xavi / Iniesta revisited.

the 3-4-3 made infamous by the dutch Kommander?

just to accommodate another dutch poser FDJ

FDJ is not in Xavi plans .. that is why he played him at CB

Jules Kounde has signed contract with Barcelona until June 2027, release clause also included worth €1B

Can't see Xavi dropping Busquets.

Also, Pedri and Bernardo can't really play holding/deep lying mids or box to box. They are both nimble number 8s. Bernardo can't play in a double pivot. You either play him as an advanced 8 like Pep did or use him as a 10 or Roaming RW.

Similarly with Pedri, ultimately a holding player would be needed to balance it.

It would be Silva and Pedri with Busquets slightly deeper , at least for this coming season

Like the Great LeBron James once said we have got a fucking sqaud now

Only thing left to do is spank Liverpool and city

Easy now lads, it's a great squad we are planning yes but questions still remain on Xavi's abilities in Europe and under the bright lights/pressure. I personally still think clubs like City and Bayern will edge us by a goal or two in Europe. You don't become a CL powerhouse in just one summer.

We should keep the focus on domestic trophies for this season and do everything we can to win the doblete.

That is a fair take on things though given how he had us playing for a while with that squad .. how can we fail with the current squad
